Abstract

Meson loop corrections to baryon axial currents are computed in the 1/N expansion. It is already known that the one-loop corrections are suppressed by a factor 1/N; here it is shown that the two-loop corrections are suppressed by (1/N)2. To leading order, these corrections are exactly what would be calculated in the constituent quark model. Some applications are discussed.
